Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools: OBD-II scanner (if needed), tire pressure gauge.
Ensure vehicle is parked on a flat surface.

2. Adjust Tire Pressures

Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
Inflate or deflate tires to match the manufacturer's recommended pressure found on the door jamb sticker.

3. Reset TPMS

For vehicles with a button:
1. Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
2. Locate the TPMS reset button (usually under the dashboard or near the steering column).
3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
For vehicles without a reset button:
1. Start the vehicle and drive at a speed of 30-60 mph for about 10 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate automatically.

4. Verify System Functionality

After resetting, turn off the ignition and then restart the vehicle.
Ensure that the TPMS warning light goes out after a few seconds.
